I agree with othes that it's nothing about race. Country? Yes, in some countries interviews go easier and in some they can be harsh, ther're many reasons for that including level of fraudulent immigration from certain countries or cultural differences. Let's say just as an example that Philippina women marrying 20 years older man is nothing unusual and wouldn't raise red flag, but a man from Morocco marrying 20 years older woman looks very different at the Embassy because it's very unsual for their culture to go for much older woman. Do you have anything in your relationship what raises big red flag in your fiance's culture? Also CO supposed to ask beneficiary questions about petitioner and if you're about to marry someone you need to know his/her life pretty good. I see why CO didn't like that your fiance had no ideas about car you drive or what your brother does for life (or was it about your income)? If you're about to marry someone I would think you need to know answers to such questions, it shows that you're involved in each other's life on everyday basis. Idk what made CO think that your fiance police report is fake, did he have any legal troubles in the past? You've mentioned that you have few red flags in your petition, it could be the reason as well. What kind of red flags? For now I think you can do nothing about this petition, I would recommend to meet again, get married and file for spousal visa. Be sure to get prepared very well for the second interview and better if you'll attend it together.

OP's case seems to be denied, not in AP, so I don't think USCIS will do any further steps regarding this petition.

Visit and take lots of pics on different days, so you have more proof. Like others have said consider marrying there and file for the CR1. Although it doesn't seem fair there are flags up for that country due to attacks and you not being from the same background. Good luck

You have to reapply -

I just went through this as well for CUBA.

Nothing you can do but start over for fiance visa - and be there for the interview or get married and apply for the CR1

You have to understand due to the country and what just happened the other month with the woman killing people who was brought here on a fine visa your country and any islamic muslim country is going to become high risk and scrutinized more.

best of luck

Thats so true., Thanks for your reply

I think that even if you get married it will still be denied. Many of my college professors were Pakistani and to some of them the only thing worse than a dark pakistani or Indian was a Black person. It is just not societal norm for them to marry Black people. I am sorry that this happened. If you move there, get married, co-habitate for a while it may be approved. But, you will not want to live there as a Black person.

I was reading all the commwnt but thats not is only happening in pakistan! Also in dominican republic! I got a fiance k1 denied in 2006 cuz my exfiance was a heavy smoker of sigaret, and even i didnt smoke i was used to tolerate smoke cuz my mom was a heavy smoker sinve she was 14 years old, also i was very pretty and not tatoos and he wasnt brad pitt or a baby face also he had two kids different women, and my big red flag it was that we met online, so they thought my relationship wasn't bonafide and denied me cuz i was 22 years old and also he was 31. So i lost that case and same things they sent it to NVC and then to UCIS so them expires. and now i have start over again and have an ameican husband and they asked to summit a waiver for the old case with my exfiance. So they think i commited fraud but actually was bonafide! We didnt get marry and re-apply cuz my exfiance pasaport got revoked in 2007 and he never fixed and then we split way.
